Man, i use to play the Hell out of Tag Team Wrestling, dunno why it ended up on the list as i thought it was pretty fun.
Total Recall should have been number 1, man that game flat out SUCKED.

a friend and I went to Blockbuster (Erols at the time) and the only thing they had left was Deadly Towers. It was, by far, the worst game we'd ever played.(of course we were 12)

This is more like a "mainstream" worst 20 games. Look into anything made by Sachen or Color Dreams and you'll see how much of a joke this list is. I happen to like Deadly Towers, but I'm a dungeon crawl fanatic so I'm used to those kind of games being picked on. Silent Assault is probably the worst game I've ever played on the NES (off the top of my head).

LOL I loved bible adventures... i played it on my Xbox emulator the other day and it isnt THAT bad. But it is funny if you play with a group of people. Especially if you read the story- it is like they are briefing you for an FBI mission.
The best part of the game is the music. If you hear it once, you're fucked cuz you'll hear it EVERYWHERE u go.

Seanbaby is f'ing hillarious. But Im shocked that The Three Stooges game didn't make the list (unless I missed it). Worst f'ing game ever!

I don't remember the specific reasoning behind why we disliked Deadly Towers (mainly it was boring, I seem to think). Sega had an arcade game called "Strider" back then that was pretty badass as an arcade game and when my friend got it, neither one of us could get past the aligator in level 1.2. The whole game was wasted since there was no way beyond that one point. No internet back then or gaming helplines or whatever from that Fred Savage movie, so we were stuck.

Bible Adventures- Good Lord! I stayed with my grandparents one summer and brought my NES with me. Being the dedicated Christians they are, they bought me this game. It was with the best of intentions, but the game was pretty torturous.

One of the Bible games is a Zelda 1 clone that involves around you finding the pieces of the armor of God to go to Hell and defeat Satan or something. I can't remember what the title was off the top of my head but it may have been Spiritual Warfare. It wasn't half bad all things considered.

My family owned Bible Adventures. It was a lovely light blue cartridge. I loved it then. I am sure I would not now. For anyone who played that game. Wasn't there a level where you had to get baby Moses across rivers and avoid the deadly soilders?

I remember being so let down by Friday the 13th The Video Game after anticipating it as a kid.
And since when do zombies, killer birds, and werewolves roam the lake? Thats what I asked myself back in 88 when it came out. Though maybe they should have incorparated these things into a later sequel. Still would have been more interesting than Jason takes Manhatten. Oh well.
I also agree with The Three Stooges and Jaws. Those are three I remember from back then.

Funny list. I actually own a few of those games and still play them today. MUSCLE, Tag Team, Renegade, and Mighty Bombjack are a few in my collection. MUSCLE ain't much to look at and is glitchy, but it has very responsive controls and has become one of my ultimate gaming guilty pleasures. (I feel at peace now that I have come to the defense of MUSCLE)

! That cartridge art is hilarious, Optimus Prime is a badass, always will be, but seeing him in front of a podium with the American flag draped in the background is almost too much to bear. I'll have to agree with you, I played this game and it's a miracle if you can get past the first stage, the graphics suck too, but the music wasn't that bad (except there's a bit of a side effect that you'll be humming it wherever you go for a month). On that note the Captain Planet game should be on there, now if you really can get past the first level on that game you have my respect. I know saving the planet is no easy job but that game really puts it into perspective how far away we really are.That list is ancient, but here's an interesting fact, the Athena game was made by SNK, and you may have noticed a similarly named female fighter character in the King of Fighters series, it's not a coincidence, the character is one and the same

I seem to remember this game called Legacy of the Wizard or something like that being particularly horrible, but maybe that was just because I couldn't figure out what the hell you were supposed to do.
